MARTINIQUE. 



Situated between 14° 23' and 14° 52' N. lat. and 60° 45' and 62° 15' 

 W. long., and about fifty miles long by sixteen in the broadest part, with 

 an area of about 380 square miles. The mountains reach an elevation 

 of nearly 4,500 feet. 



Botany.

See genei-al bibliography for works dealing with the botany of this and 

 other French islands. 



The botany of Martinique has been so far investigated that large 

 collections of the plants have been dried and distributed to the principal 

 herbaria, but no complete enumeration of them has been published. Hahn 

 was perhaps the largest collector, and the set of his plants in the Kew 

 Herbarium contains about 675 species of flowering plants and forty 

 ferns. Apparently the endemic element is very poor, for only two species 

 of flowering plants were regarded by Grisebach as peculiar to this island.
